In order to support VMBUS, the ethernet device name needs to be increased.
What would be good timing; vmbus support will be in 17.11.
Either break ABI now, and vmbus won't have to do it later.
Or wait and make it part of of VMBUS patches?

Please send a deprecation notice for 17.08,
and wait 17.11 to change it while introducing VMBUS.
Thanks
